A Poet I Am Not
A poet I am not.
My verses are not worth
a piece of bread.
I do not seek praise,
nor do I flee from blame-
both are weightless dust to me.
All my craft,
all my poetry,
could rest easily
inside a single cup.
And unless
the wine is poured
by the Beloved’s own hand,
I will not drink
even a single sip.
